Does anyone know much about the Helios disk systems for the Sol-20?

Did they require a special card to drive them or can they be used with any generic floppy controller?

What are the basic specs, etc?

Helios Drives...

... are notoriously flakey. Very difficult to get running and keep running. Probably better to interface some other drives to the SOL.
